Abstract
- International audience; We investigate the singular limit, as $\ep \to 0$, of the Fisher equation $\partial _t u=\ep \Delta u + \ep ^{-1}u(1-u)$ in the whole space. We consider initial data with compact support plus perturbations with {\it slow exponential decay}. We prove that the sharp interface limit moves by a constant speed, which dramatically depends on the tails of the initial data. By performing a fine analysis of both the generation and motion of interface, we provide a new estimate of the thickness of the transition layers.
